Der Ami, that's true. I have tried to get my hands on a small shaper for a while now. Anyone I have asked about them, including a machinery dealer I know, says the vast majority of them have been scrapped. This is a great pity as more than likely they will never be built again. A lathe, milling machine, shaper and a small surface grinder in your workshop or shed and I reckon there is very little that couldn't be made.
